BEER...!


The word of Beer is full of weird & wonderful brews. Beer is one of the oldest manufactured drinks. Nobody knows when was the first of beer is brewed but it is started couple of thousand years ago in Sumeria & Babylonia, changes happened in brewing style on regular intervals. There are so many stories are hidden in history of beer manufacturing. Russian brewed the Kvass, made from Kvass Seed & is still consumed in many parts of Russia; the Germans brewed a wheat version called Weisbier, Arabians & Africans brewed their own concoction from teff, millet, grass seeds; the Chinese made the Kiu from rice & sorghum; South Americans make their beer from any grain at hand.

 Now beer is one of the most famous alcoholic drinks. It is worldwide socially accepted due to low alcoholic content & it is drink on regular basis. Beer is treated as refreshing drink or thirst quencher. Beer is made with the help of malted cereal grains & flavor is given with the help of Hops. The process of preparing beer is known as Brewing. The place where brewing is going on that is called as Brewery, though beer can be made in the home & has been for much of its history. Nowadays beer is mainly produce with the help of Barley, Malt, Hops, Sugar, Brewer’s Yeast, Water & Finings.

Beer & food matching is quite a hot topic from last few years. Beer is a perfect companion for different food dishes. There are different beer available in the market with different taste, color, type, aroma, & character; that’s help us to choose beer according to our food. For example rich creamy risotto with nutty brown ale, Indian curries goes very well with lager beer, beef stew or mutton stew goes very well with stout beer, basic cheese can be served with draught beer & so on. Even few food dishes are made with the help of beer, as main ingredients to give perfect aroma & taste to that dish.

There are different types are beers available in the market according to individual taste buds. There is a difference between drinking beer & formally tasting it, but that difference isn’t huge. While tasting a beer we should bear few things in mind like shape of glass makes a big difference to how we perceive the beer, so always ask for the same glass each time when we drink beer & glass should be clean without any smell. Beer need to be chilled enough to refresh us, allow beer to stay in glass after pouring & before sipping it. Some people like to drink with froth some like without. Beer is the perfect drink for occasion, we can have our beer in stadium while enjoying different sports; beer companies are the major sponsors for most of the sports. or we can have blast during different parties with beers along with friends, relatives, & company colleagues or we can have corporate lunch or dinner with clients
